#123: August 1969 (w/Tom Brevoort) - "The Awesome Answer!"

from Marvel by the Month · host Robb Milne, Bryan Stratton, Tom Brevoort

Tom Brevoort is the Senior Vice-President of Publishing and Executive Editor of Marvel Comics. He spends his days helping to chart the narrative direction of Marvel's greatest heroes and villains, and then he spends the occasional evening trying to smarten us up about Marvel history. And this time, he did it in the aftermath of a massive thunderstorm that knocked out his power, so he ran his router off of a generator in order to speak with us.Tom was kind enough to speak with us for two hours, one of which is included in this episode.
